Has Black Panther 2 been Cancelled?
No, Black Panther 2 has not been cancelled. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has confirmed that the sequel was planned prior to the tragic death of Chadwick Boseman. Feige said that "Chadwick Boseman was an immensely talented actor and an inspirational individual who affected all of our lives professionally and personally."
The sequel is still in the early stages of development, with no director, release date, or storyline announced. Marvel has, however, made it clear that they will not be using a digital double of Boseman to continue the character's story. Instead, they will be honoring Boseman's legacy by writing a new story for the sequel which will feature the remaining cast members.
It is likely that the sequel will focus on the character of Shuri, played by Letitia Wright. Shuri is T'Challa's sister, and she is a brilliant scientist and inventor in the Marvel universe. This would be the first Marvel movie to feature a female lead, and it would be a fitting tribute to Boseman's legacy.
